Saw this on Facebook today:

Sorry about that - I totally scrolled past your response hence mine to wait to hear whether or not it was needed! 🤦‍♂️ Instructions - Start with GameExtender disablement. Report back with updated gameex.ini and log.txt files if issue appears resolved or not. Disable GameExtender via Setup Wizard - Select No Next, disable Plugins via Setup Wizard - Untick the selection box next to the plugin(s) to be disabled: Report back with updated gameex.ini and log.txt files if issue resolves. You can also reenable one plugin at a time to see if the issue returns to a specific plugin or combination of plugins.

There shouldn't be a need to disable Gameextender and plugins at this time. I have flagged this thread to @Tom Speirsattention as this may be related to some recent changes made with the latest releases.

Hey there! Did you find a solution for TeknoParrot? If so, would you mind sharing your emulator config for PinballX? Thanks! BTW, your kid is a lucky one! @Everyone - Take a gander at this wonderful gift he made for his son on his birthday!

Great job and good dad getting him hooked early! I would love to see some videos of the interface in action! Regarding your spinner settings, I created a table of MAME Spinner Dial Sensitivity settings that may be of help.

Thank you for the files. Do you recall what version last worked well for you before you updated to 18.84 (latest)? Also, what is your GPU and has it been updated to the latest driver?

Yes please attach copies of your gameex.ini and log.txt files when reporting an issue. Thanks!

Probably a Feature Request but would a user-enabled feature via Setup Wizard to add a menu item linked to dynamically created XML file of the 10 Most Played tables. Or is this something that could be done via plugin?

How is it for gamepad controls?

Please attach your log.txt file. Thanks.

Not sure the changes will help but you should upgrade to the latest version 6.16. Please do so and attach updated copies of your pinballx.ini and log.txt files. Thanks

Were you able to figure this out and answer your question?

Now we are not only changing the random videosnap we are also changing what is displayed in the marquee? Sorry but my elevator isn't opening on the top floor of this description. No disrespect intended and maybe it's just me.

Just for clarity, would you mind attaching screen caps of what/where on the screen to what you are referring. Your additional description has me a little confuzzled. Thanks!

Does GameEx and AE display videos for categories within the MAME submenus level or main menu?

If you are talking about background videos for the MAME categories to display at the main menu, then no. If that is a correct assumption and what you would like to see, submit an Enhancement request!

For what it's worth I was not able to replicate the issue with MAME in my setup with vanilla MAME 0258 on Win 11 Pro with Nvidia 3060 TI.

I will also throw a caution out there for directing almost anything to C:\Users\ path as there are generally higher protections placed by Windows that can result in read/write errors. Moving PBXRecorder_x64 to the root of your c drive or other drive would likely be best.

The goal was to create themed skins rather than recreate for specific game control schemes.

P.S. Are the issues actually occuring when launching the converted files in a media player or only through GameEx?

It has been my experience that using .mp4 is better than .avi. Typically, if and when I have to do any conversions, I use the Convert-It default settings. If your source file is marginal or not within ideal spec, then you may run into sync and other issues. Are experiencing this when using GameEx itself? If so, are you using LAV codec? The link you have referenced is to someone's user profile post list. Please provide a new link to the post you were originally attempting to reference. Thank you.

Yeah, he moved the -g to the beginning of the executible line and removed it from the end.

Adding -g to the beginning of the parameters is working based on my interpretation. I think he is looking for a means of launching TeknoParrot titles in one system setup instead a system for each title. @tabascoman77 please correct me if I am wrong on either count.

Damn (pun intended). What I cannot fathom is weather personalities receiving hate mail and even threats. I understand the concerns and anxiety caused by back-to-back weather threats, but why the "weather rage" towards the people bringing us the information? Mike of Mike's Weather Page is even getting unmitigated hate on his FB page for being accurate. Most of it is coming from tinfoil hatted flat earthers convinced that the current government is controlling and weaponizing the weather systems via HAARP against "the red states"...

Good news and thanks for reporting back! Thinking that TeknoParrot may need to be handled differently. Let's open a new thread for the pursuit of that one with fresh ini and log files!
